Uhm if you read my comment it is specifically about how nvim doesn't change the preexisting behavior of vim. And if I were to believe you then compatibility with vim means compatibility with vi
- massysett 3y agoI did read your comment word for word: “Of course this means you'd rely on Neovim maintainers honoring that compatibility in future.” I knew that maintaining compatibility was extremely important to Bram Moolenaar. I also knew that Neovim made a big deal out of removing “cruft” and old stuff they decided no one needed. I preferred Bram’s values.
- throwaway290 3y agoand I responded to your "exists to change things". Vim also exists to change things, otherwise it wouldn't exist if Vi was enough. but it is compatible and from my experience nvim is compatible with vim. Having to rely on them for that is a downside, but I guess you are free to fork nvim if they abandon that promise...
